摘要: |
Public transit agencies in North America have developed and implemented innovative services, programs, and technologies in recent years in an effort to provide improved and more cost-effective transportation to customers with disabilities. These innovative service options and enhancements have been designed to promote greater use of fixed route service and the appropriate use of paratransit services. Alternative operating approaches, such as service routes, route deviation, and point deviation, have been used to develop transit services that better meet the specific travel needs of persons with disabilities. A survey of 548 public transit systems in the United States and Canada conducted as part of this research identified over 20 innovative operational models, support services, and technologies that are currently being used. This report examines in detail the effectiveness of the following selected service options and enhancements: service routes; feeder service; route deviation; low-floor buses; and fare incentives. |
